Creed surprises Texas Rangers fans at Globe Life Field during ALCS Game 3

The crowd at Globe Life Field sang along with the song "Higher", and then cheered when Creed band members appeared on the big screen wearing Rangers jerseys.

Fun fact: the Rangers are 0-3 since they invited Creed to play at their generic stadium.

Generic band for generic franchise at a generic stadium.

Fuck em!

Chapman has been a disaster for a while now if you watch him. When he gets out of it with no damage it’s luck. He’s done.

I don't follow baseball during regular season and I am shocked he is still in the league. He got quite lucky the previous game where the guy hit it to the end of the warning track but it didn't leave the park. He can't strike anybody out any more.
You know you probably stink when the other team is probably happy to see you enter the game.

I see a guy who’s lost any semblance of control. If you are lucky to find one pitch you can throw for a strike, MLB hitters are just going to sit on it. Then hurt you.

If he can clean up his mechanics and get some control back, he still throws plenty hard enough but right now they just spit on his breaking stuff and time up the heater.

Astros' Bryan Abreu facing 2-game suspension for plunking Adolis Garcia​

Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu has been handed a two-game suspension in the wake of his controversial hit by pitch of Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia, which sparked a benches-clearing incident and a near brawl in the late stages of Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Friday night.

Major League Baseball noted in its news release that "all six of the major league umpires deemed Abreu's pitch to have been intentional" in ejecting him from the game, adding that the league "took into account the dangerous nature of the pitch and its potential impact on player safety" in doling out the suspension.

Just sayin':
1) How could all six umpires know that hitting Garcia was intentional. Besides being down 4-2, in the 8th, with a runner on first and no one out; why would you want to put another runner on base at that point in the game?
2) I think it could just be payback for cheating in 2017.

enforcing unwritten rules is a fool's errand.
